It may not be as mindblowing as Inception, but it paints a clear picture of unworldly desolate journey in very personal level. Aside from the heavy emphasis of space flight, "Human is explorer" as the movie aptly described, the best part ofIt may not be as mindblowing as Inception, but it paints a clear picture of unworldly desolate journey in very personal level. Aside from the heavy emphasis of space flight, "Human is explorer" as the movie aptly described, the best part of the movie is relationship between humans themselves, mainly between Cooper and Murph. Visual is pleasant, the science is sound and atmosphere is grimly right, although the pace can be pretty slow at times. The movie serves as inspiration and education purpose, captivating audience with not just boring lecture but also with good simulation on how lives can be affected by the prospect of unforeseeable future.

Story is very heavy with scientific elements, there is much information to absorb and it could be overwhelming for those who aren't accustomed to sci-fi genre. To its credit, the movie tries to explain many complicated aspects as brief and as clear as possible, it can't be faulted with lack of research. The first act does take some time to roll, but for a good reason. Matthew McConaughey brings top notch acting in recent years, but perhaps his best one is this father-daughter relationship with Murph (Jessica Chastain). It's very believable, dynamic, occasionally amusing and thoroughly emotional. Jessica Chastain pulls off a great performance, better than her older counterparts.

Michael Caine, an old time accomplish to Nolan, as Depp to Burton, is fantastic as usual. There's so much depth to his character, much thanks to his natural parental charisma. Anne Hathaway plays as Brand, another astronaut with strong conviction but slight self-doubt. Every character here is flawed, there's no one with hero mentality, and it's more authentic to see them trying to solve their issues with such imperfection. Hathaway is more of a comrade than love interest, someone who shares the unique same fate, her tight suit will be missed though.

Writing is quite brilliant, very solid and humorous when needs be. It balances the complex stuff with simpler tone to ensure audience can still relate. Props to writers for making the robotic characters very lively even as they lumber around in metal case. Visual is littered with the gray tone of Nolan. This fits the estranged worlds and empty space, it's less blockbuster than previous galactic voyage of Gravity, but appealing on its own right. Music from Hans Zimmer is undoubtedly excellent, he hits the right tune and delivers some creeping moments of solitude. The overall sound effect is also good, transitioning between vacuum space and mechanic growl perfectly. The movie's production level is sky high.

Interstellar is admittedly a bit slow at times, it's inspirational but not as cinematically engaging and entertaining as Nolan's previous works. It manages to create a lonely perspective, a daunting self-reflective insight of human significant, or insignificant in cosmos time, but the best part about the movie is the bonds, might it be parental, platonic or romantic, or even robotic. In the end the star is the humans that make the equation more meaningful.… Expand

I was simultaneously disturbed and enthralled by the entire thing. The simplicity of the early scenes made the movie that much better because you could feel that some serious stuff was going to happen later on and Christopher Nolan was just teasing you with some early run of the mill exposition. That being said, the story line was pretty horrendous. The movie was 3 hours long, but it felt unbelievably rushed. An epic story like this should have been a ten hour affair, seriously. It needs that much time in order to develop properly since the scale is so large and the story so dense. The transition between the exposition and the rising action was particularly awful. The way they present the 'premise' of the mission was down right bad. The movie just didn't flow like it should have, and there were lots of mistakes in the script. Some of the dialogue between the astronauts is also really terrible. They speak in astronomy buzz words that excited teenagers might use in a intro to space high school class. But despite the story, Its an amazing movie which deserves to be watched many times in order to experience the sheer awe of the special effects. But beware, because the special effects are actually pretty frightening at points!… Expand

There is no excuse for this: the greatest sci-fi movies, such as the original Star Wars trilogy, did not skimp on either setting *or* plot and are great for that reason.

It is these that come to define “Interstellar”.
Set in the near future, Earth cannot sustain humanity anymore, and it’s worth praising Nolan’s subtle view of it, be it seeing the New York Yankees playing on an amateur field or discovering that the Apollo missions were faked to bankrupt the Soviet Union, which Cooper (played by Matthew McConaughey) denies. This scene, whilst allowing for a sense of character development in regards to Cooper, in retrospect seems to be Nolan emphasising how he sticks to the traditional elements of film and he does so more than ever in this film, from building several rooms of a spaceship from scratch to using five industrial fans to create a dust storm, thus attributing even more of the credit for the film to him.
Yet as I expected, it proves very difficult for members of this all-star cast to break through both the visually stunning shots and the label of Christopher Nolan, and be noticed. Only McConaughey succeeds in doing so, although Mackenzie Foy (playing a young Murphy) and Bill Irwin (voicing the robot, TARS) deserve mentions, as does to an extent Michael Caine (playing Professor Brand) and his recital of Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”, although I still don’t entirely understand its inclusion, leaving big names such as Casey Affleck (playing Tom) and even Jessica Chastain (playing Murphy) “down in the dirt”.
Interstellar is a quintessentially Nolan film, meant to be seen on IMAX, imposing those classic Nolan themes of love and family whilst asking questions that I have not seen asked before, in this case winding up the scientists, although it is interesting to note that Nolan answers them by playing with several theories, instead of just getting the science completely wrong, as is so common. Yet the film is so Nolan that it takes that extra unnecessary step that Nolan always has present in his work, be it taking the audience to Limbo in Inception or by adding the twist of Miranda Tate (played by Marion Cotillard) turning out to be Talia al Ghul in The Dark Knight Rises.
Before I conclude, I think it is important to make this point in regards to Nolan and his (future) works. He has begun, whether he means it or not, to dwarf his own cast and to an extent his own themes and his commitment to traditional film elements. The amount of hype that goes into his films is widespread and if he isn’t careful, his future works could take a turn for the worse.
As I have already said, Nolan always takes that extra unnecessary step, one that I don’t think I would be so sympathetic with if it was another director, yet the brilliance of what comes before it makes up for it, often leaving me in that No Man’s Land of whether the film was worth 9 or 10 stars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interstellar was nothing short of a spectacle... a grandiose experience of epic proportions. It explores concepts no movie has ever explored before, and fleshes them out exceptionally. The movie has multiple moments of unmatched intensity, like when Mathew McConaughey's character Cooper must dock his ship onto a rapidly rotating space station, or when the Crew of four, including Cooper and Anne Hathaway's character, Dr. Brand (plus a couple somewhat unremarkable characters) travel through a worm hole into the unknown. The main characters are sculpted well and detailed, and the characters are somewhat relatable and their wonderful acting gives a good sense of realistic emotion shown. Although the movie takes a bit to get started (the initial take-off sequence was decently boring) and a few of the characters fail to be interesting, the movie was overall fantastic. The ending sequence was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen in a movie since Nolan seems to think like me. Only difference being, I imagine someone looking across time pictured as a bubble, rather than a sprawling plane of individual time periods spread out in front of you. Nontheless, a must see. Especially if you liked Gravity, Contact, or any other space movies. In fact, any Nolan fans out there should see it as well, as it has a heavy theme of human emotion and reaction to odd situations, found in other Nolan films like Inception. Seriously, go see it.… Expand

The audio and visuals were good but there are too many 'wormholes' in the plot to warrant a high score. Any tens are purely reactionary and based on the cinematic experience.

But I slightly disappointed that it wasWell, one off from two of this year's most expected movies alongside 'The Battle of Five Armies'. Like all the Chris Nolan fans, I was equally excited to see the movie on the opening day opening show. But I slightly disappointed that it was not a digital 3D film. I agree, this science-fiction was more dramatized than usual space travel stories does with an adventure-thriller. Almost a 3 hour long stretch movie did not waste much time to take us to the core of the story. Get prepared for this extremely rare voyage into the space with a logical explanation for everything you see on the screen. Well done research for the most matured and intelligent writing. All the credit must go to Nolan brothers. A good sign from Jonathan Nolan, who can make big in the entertainment industry in a future like his brother.

As we know many had liked 'Inception', to me that was a simple multi-layered action movie, that's all. But the same stuffs that used in this film makes sense. In fact, you have to have a little knowledge over how the universe works, so then it will be easy to catch the scene and situations while watching the movie. Totally like a documentary style concept, but with the additional stuffs like characters and its emotions add flavor that gives a movie look. An educational movie, though it also can work for those who wants just entertainment. Only the slow movie pace would test their patience.

It was the story of a family alongside the future of humankind and decoding universal mysteries through travelling in space and time. This movie would a reasonable for those who thought '2001: A Space Odyssey' is a boring piece, Cleverly written cinematic piece especially for science geeks. I don't know how perfect the movie to the actual present astrophysics, but will justify for the common people's capacity of understanding with an encourageable amount of commercial elements in it to entertain as well.

The first three quarters of the movie was well made. It puts me in a unblinkable position like a story was narrated by Brian Cox in a television series. Like I said, lots of astrophysics involved in it, but strangely human emotions were also exhibited equally that I never expected one from Nolan film. It was not an ordinary sentiment, but was strong enough to make a man cry for happy and sad situations in the movie. I liked science and emotion coming together. In fact, it saved the movie, otherwise it would have been a science documentary straight from NASA production through Nolan direction.

There are many surprise elements in the movie and of course there is a twist at the end. We can call it a series of twists like the layers. Compared to last quarter of the movie to the rest, it completely detaches which opens broadly to the different directions. And that happens so fast rushing towards the other end. Which give an impression of the movie 'Inception'. In a perfect way to say the first 75% was 'The Tree of Life' and the remains are 'Inception'.

The story was initiated with a realistic approach with actual scientific contents as per the present understanding about the universe. But the end was let me down with the layered contents that kind of impossible to agree with it. As a cinematic theme it worked, yeah, a good solution for this wonderfully written story. We know that the time can't run backwards, so that's the trouble.

Anyway, this movie defines in a new way, I mean scientifically the existence of ghost. It was not a horror movie, but I liked supernatural force that merged with this science fiction theme. That explains and gives vast ideas to expand our physics beyond something and somewhere yet to reach. Hats off to the director, because he was not thinking of making money here. His idea was to implement what the humans are understood so far about the cosmos. And he very nicely transformed those into the silver screen with the blend of human emotions. In my opinion, this will replace '2001: A Space Odyssey' for sometime till another one make this way.

The visuals were not that great, but simply very good. To see those in digital 3D would have given us a different experience, sadly Nolan was not in favor of that technology. Hoping this movie would get as many as the Oscars nod. Especially not getting into the best motion picture shortlist would be a shame. Like I said I'm no one fan, I just love watching everyone's every movie. I would have went to see it again if it was converted into digital 3D, since I'm modern tech geek when it comes to the films.

The end scene leaves a hint of a possible sequel. I would be happy if that happen in a near future, but definitely that would be a completely different cinema as per how this one ended. I know his fans want that to happen and so am I. What I gonna say is it is a must see asap if you are a movie fanatic like me otherwise Nolan movies does not need anyone's recommendation because his movies usually sell itself like the hot samosa.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not long ago, I watched a featurette with excerpts from the movie Interstellar, which showed the gargantuan amount of work and sweat Nolan brethren, Kip Thorne and others put in whilst exploring the behaviour of a black hole. The crisp attention and the minute details they did not overlook flabbergasted me beyond limit. So hopeful was written all over my head. And Nolan never disappoints.

Strewn with science, this movie not only takes you on a joy ride, it educates you as well. The concept of space-time singularity pervades throughout the flick as we witness a superb simulation of a black hole, and it doesn't stop at just that. We go into it. Yes, through the eyes of our protagonist for the first time, we witness a distinct theoretical world that has found pragmatism. An impeccable representation of Tesseract with threads of time.

The best thing about Nolan is the enormity of the project he takes. The script is so beautifully written that it rivets you right from the start. The concept is like magic, a miracle happening in a distant galaxy. As the story unfolds it makes you feel as if you are getting closer to finding answers to our existence finally. The plot however has something else in store for you. And it is a big fat blunt satire on our loneliness. We are alone and all we have is each other. That is the penultimate truth.

Wormhole was never explored like this before. How time plays tricks on you, powerful representation of anomalies, the wickedness of human mind when left alone in despair(that #Damon bit), how the music of nature (the rain, the thunder and the cricket chirping noise) makes you feel home, the conundrum of our purpose, the humour of TARS, the physics that touches almost every part in the flick, the poetry of the brave and wise through Dylan Thomas's words, superb lamenting conversations, and the brain-wrecking revelations in the end - every little detail has been exemplified with proper logical explanations and shown on a platter of sensations.

Emotional surge is strong, and with a power pack performance by McConnaughey everything uplifts. Bits of a father-daughter melodrama are the most feeling kind. Shatters you from the inside, as you empathize with the protagonist's tears. Zimmer touches your heart with his profound score. Notes are so brilliant that they put you right into the flick. This too would sit amongst Zimmer's best works.

It is one of the most ambitious projects that would be remembered in impending debates for the intricacies it touches and the science it explores. Nolan is certainly one of a kind director, a great gift to mankind, a wise man who wouldn't go gentle into that good night. Kudos to yet another mammoth achievement!… Expand

Like all Nolan's movies, its strongest qualities are a uniquely thought-provoking and grand plot with a centeredInterstellar is a spectacular viscerally and emotionally powerful sci-fi movie-going experience that demands full immersion. Like all Nolan's movies, its strongest qualities are a uniquely thought-provoking and grand plot with a centered emotional heart peppered with poignant one-liners that force the audience to question the world and their place in it. Also like most Nolan movies, its weaker parts are comprised of somewhat contrived and sloppy dialogue and questionable pacing. Some have expressed distaste with the amount of exposition as well, however I am less inclined to fault a movie with such large and far reaching ideas for packaging these ideas in a way the audience will at least to some degree understand. In a 3 hour movie you don't have the time to fully flesh out ideas naturally that may be completely foreign to the audience, thus heavier than normal exposition is needed to make sure the they are properly strapped in for the ride.

The audiovisual experience of Interstellar (especially on an IMAX screen) is bar none. Perhaps only Avatar and Gravity could be said to be on a similar plane, but given the great attention to scientific detail of the subject matter here and the fact that recreating Black and worm holes has actually given rise to breakthroughs is studies on the subjects puts Interstellar in a league of its own.

The story is as ambitious as they come for this day and age. There has not been, and is not likely soon be, another movie of this scope and originality in a blockbuster format (with A-list actors performing at their best and a nearly $200 million budget). Detailing more would be a disservice (though at this point you've likely read more elsewhere), but suffice to say it is truly exciting that a movie like this could be made.

Like most things, what you get out of Interstellar will likely come from what you expect out of it. If you're looking for plot holes you'll find them (though debate could rage on for days about whether they're really holes or can be explained by current or possible future science). If you're looking for constant hi-octane action you won't find that here. If you're expecting neatly put together dialogue and characters you're likely to be disappointed, because that's not what Nolan's about.

Interstellar, like his other movies, is about stretching what a movie going experience (and indeed reality itself) can be. It is best viewed with an open and contemplative mind and wide eyes and ears. It offers a glimpse of the universe we've not previously perceived, and it can spawn threads of thought that otherwise may not have found footing while taking you on a grandly entertaining narrative journey. If that is valuable to you, then Interstellar will offer up one of the best movie-going experiences that can be had.… Expand

However, can this film stand up to the Dark Knight Trilogy, or is it thinking too big?

Interstellar wastes no time introducing the characters and the situation that is the main driving force behind the movie's plot. The Earth is dwindling, helplessly, and an ex-Astronaut farmer is led to be the savior of all mankind. Cliche, right? Wrong. While the concept may be something we've seen before, the precision is flawless with subtle clues sprinkled throughout the movie to suggest a greater purpose for everything that is happening. Interstellar also manages to be quite emotional, and do not be surprised if you have to fight back tears during a couple scenes. The scale of the film is also something quite impressive, rivaling 2001 in scale and grandeur. The special effects are very well done and the score is one of the best in any film. The actors in Interstellar are also some of the best in the industry, and when they need, they are skilled at creating a sense of dispair, agony, and pain.

One thing that impressed me most about Interstellar was the fact that the movie never felt too long, drawn out, or stagnant; which is quite a feat for a sci-fi movie that is 2 minutes shy of 3 hours. The sci-fi part is also something worth mentioning, with much of the subject matter being confusing and a lot to digest. However, I felt that the science behind the film, while not entirely proven (or disproven); was appropriate and created a detailed perspective of space and the many anomalies that happen there.

All-in-all, Interstellar is simply the best sci-fi film I've seen; and it rivals 2001 in sheer ingenuity and scope. The visuals are stunning and the depth of the film begs to be seen in IMAX. Excellent actors, superb storytelling, and effects that will make your jaw drop are just some of the factors that make this an impressive cinematic feat. Interstellar is a must-see and a film that will have you talking for years to come....especially with the ending. Highly recommended 10/10… Expand

You're on board for the whole ride, despite having some narrative bumps that may bring the movie down for most people. And a final act that left me bittersweet, since there wasnt the emotional gut punch I was expecting.

That being said though, Interstellar deserves its place amongst one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, even if it will divide people, it's ambitiousness is praise worthy and it'll go down in history as a technical achievement. Interstellar was one ride I will never forget.… Expand

Interstellar. InterSTELLAR.
Good but not great movie.
Fantastic visuals. Big sound effects. Overblown soundtrack.
Acting was fine, but too sentimental.
Well executed. But lacked finesse, mystery and elegance.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot holes I looked past, the dialogue was cheesy, but all in all this was one of the best movies I've seen this year. A serious 2001 vibe was felt throughout the theater, but it was different enough to be called its own. The only real gripe, which I CANNOT look past is the loud music during dialogue. REALLY? I mean, it's a fantastic soundtrack, but it's kind of hard to be in the moment when you can't even hear the characters' emotions!! The best example I can give *MAJOR **** SPOILER AHEAD* was when Dr. Brann (Brann? Brand? I don't **** know) died. the dialogue made by him was ACTUALLY IMPORTANT but INSANELY hard to hear due to the music. The creators said it was because they wanted to make the emotions clear not through dialogue, but through the music. Sensible, but STILL, as I've already said, I CAN'T FEEL EMPATHETIC WHEN I CAN'T HEAR WHAT I NEED TO BE EMPATHETIC ABOUT. That's the only gripe I have with this movie, other than a few obvious creative license uses like *SORT OF SPOILER AHEAD* someone surviving going through a black hole when they should have been crushed due to the gravity. In addition the CGI was STUPENDOUS. It really felt like it was actually filmed, not CGI'ed. On top of that, they hired a real astrophysicist to develop an engine to accurately represent a black hole or wormhole. That takes some serious dedication. All in all, if you haven't seen any other movie this year, see this one. 9/10.… Expand

Incredible visuals mixed inThis is a great movie. It ignores some of our current understanding of science and takes some of our unproven theories and runs with them. So as long as you can accept that, you should be in for a wild ride!

Incredible visuals mixed in with a solid, if not great, story. Unlike most sci-fi movies, you can actually get invested in the characters here, and for the most part the movie avoids stereotypical roles. It makes for some emotional scenes. There's a sense of "gravity" to the situation (heh!) and you can feel it!

It's a long movie, but aside from the slow start you never really feel it. Another great movie by Nolan!… Expand

All the characters show great performances especially Mathew giving yet another outstanding performance. People are complaining about the ending of the movie, the science behind it, and its overall complex understanding, that's their opinion. but its ending shows something new and original in the sci-fi genre making you think and think after you see the movie. Overall the movie is a must have experience that takes new heights and embarks on a wild journey that's unforgettable with its visually aspect and emotional story. Another great addition to the movie is the superb music composed by Hanz Zimmer, it gives the movie an extra layer of creepiness and excitement. This is not a movie for casual people wanting a simple action movie. This is a must watch!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's one of those things where I have to accept that so many people will love this movie and I really found it barely ok. I feel that some of the people calling this a masterpiece might need to reevaluete their opinion.

It's tough to watch a movie almost 3 hour in length when my friend and I called out the major twists in the movie in the first act and kept doing so for the rest of the movie. The love will save us all is really laughable ... it feels like it would have been a decent 30 min twilight zone episode instead of a three hour movie about saving humanity from extinction.

I did enjoy and laugh at some of the one liners and I think this humor saved the movie for me.

Here is a list of things that bugged me and I have no doubt other people will disagree with and that's fine by me.

-They talk so much about the ghost in the first act, my friend and I said "hey it's probobly him pushing the books"
-The soundtrack covers so much of the dialogue I think I missed so many lines in the movie because I was not able to hear them
-So much of the script feels like set up pieces for scenes to come, it's down right annoying.
-This does not look like a visual spectacle, I am sorry but where exactly are these amazing scenes.
-To be compared to Kubrick and 2001 and some of the people are doing right now...you can not have scenes like...discovers nasa, says goodbye, is on a rocket out of space. If you feel this stuff is out of place when you watch a movie...that's how it is. The pacing/timing just feels wrong in so many scenes ...the rocket, watching the 28 year footage, leaving his daughter to find Brand etc
-The Matt Damon scene enforces the weak script, as they hammered the lines "Mann's the best of us, mann's this mann's that...I already felt this character is not going to be what it is...and as soon as you see him on the screen you are like "ok I know where this is going.,,,"
which is bad in my opinion
-I really did not buy into the emotion, of father daughter relationship. The scene where Cooper watches 28 years of footage just left me cold and seems also out of place...or not at the right pace.
-I was really annoyed at the transition of the boy to Casey Affleck, it felt weird, their voices were so different, reminded me I was watching a movie and it's hard to lose yourself in an epic sic-fi when this happens over and over.
-For a 3 hour movie the characters and their decisions sure feel underdeveloped.
-The whole dust things, everyone is driving pickups in the future, funny. There is no militaries for some reason but none of this seems somehow justified in the movie-logic. The older people in the beginning set up the movie for a good ending, as they are referencing the events to come as the past.

Anyway these are just some of the things that bugged me about the movie. It was not a bad flick it's just not the epic science fiction movie other people claim it to be.

For some that claim that you have to be a sophisticated thinker to understand the science ...miss the point ...it's a blockbuster movie that should not require a science course or a book reading prior to watching it. I understand these ideas are real, but I don't feel the implementation and execution in the movie is something pulled of but anyway...agree to disagree :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated sci-fi film Interstellar is definitely the most ambitious one the director has ever undertaken in terms of plot and vision. It's a film that will definitely transcend time and space and within the following decades will be dissected and analyzed as much as few other great and important films.

The performances are all top notch and even though it's hard to distinguish any of the actors, it's safe to say that Matthew McConaughey delivers a powerhouse performance (his best) and carries the film until the very end. He is Nolan's best lead so far for me. Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Matt Damon, Mackenzie Foy, Casey Affleck and Bill Irwin are only some of the actors who compile this tremendously talented ensemble cast. Especially Damon and Irwin are two very exciting surprises. Even Ellen Burstyn has a small but extremely effective part.

Plot-wise, even though Interstellar is as ambitious as people expect it to be, several moments feel a little rushed due to either the screenplay or the editing. But, because there is no such thing as a perfect film, Interstellar manages to maintain its ambition on the highest possible level and any minor flaws are easily forgettable. Nolan balances several adventurous sequences (inside the wormhole, around the black hole, on the potentially habitable planets, the docking sequence) along with plenty emotional and intimate scenes.

On the technical side, Interstellar is a masterful achievement. Hans Zimmer's organ based score is one of his best and it accompanies the characters from their most intimate to their most engrossing moments. Hoyte van Hoytema who replaced Wally Pfister as Nolan's director of photography creates one of the most visually stunning experiences in the history of cinema. The visual and sound effects and the editing are bound to be recognized.

I can't really say if Interstellar is Nolan's best film but it definitely is his most ambitious by far. Except from being his most ambitious film ever, Interstellar is also his most divisive. The decisions he makes in the infamous third act may alienate some people but for me this part is the best and most audacious of the whole film and the way Nolan directs it and delivers it, makes it feel so heartbreaking and awe-inspiring at the same time.

Interstellar is a heavenly made science fiction film and certainly one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. Part of this film's greatness lies on the fact that it desperately needs to be watched at least twice. First for the questions and then for the answers. Go watch it on the biggest screen possible.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Too dumb for nerds, too smart for jocks, this movie panders to those between but suffers from too many incoherent lapses in reality to sustain disbelief and not enough explosions to keep the masses entertained. This movie fails on so many levels you may actually feel the effects of the relativity of time as its three hour span drones one for what seems like ten years.
The science of the movie is a mish mash of poorly conceived ideas and concepts the authors obviously do not understand and anyone with an iota of intelligence tunes out the minute they realize it takes rockets to actually sent the shuttle out of Earth's orbit but that the nifty little craft can hop onto and off any other planet with ease (even ones with significantly stronger gravities).
I don't need science to be perfect in my sci fi flicks. Fact is, I'd rather do without (the best sci fi usually does). However, if you're going to use science as a main plot element, you have to get it right or make it fuzzy enough to remain plausible. The ironic pseudo science of Hitchihiker's Guide to the Galaxy is actually more believable than the drivel served up in this fiasco.
The few highlights of this film are those reminiscent of Gravity and Apollo 13 and even these are not as poignant or well done as the originals.
But above and beyond all of its failings, this movie fails most utterly because it is ultimately boring.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm concerned I may not review this movie fairly given my expectations.

If you are however the kind of person who likes the above disclaimer as an approach to observing phenomena, be warned. This movie may be irritating for the scientifically literate: from magically fuelled spacecraft, to the idea that you can 'lift off' normal on rockets after going so far down a black hole's gravity well that time dilates to run one sixty thousandth of normal speed, this movie disappoints.

Not to mention the idea that (no really) you can't see anything on a planet from a spaceship as you land (even if that thing kilometres high and thousands long) nor receive pictures or historical logs. These are all fundamental plot points.

The cinematography was however excellent and the sound okay. Overall that made for epic movie fail, but maybe I just had to many expectations for it... that I can't say.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's certainly a spectacle, and it's certainly complex, but being complex doesn't make it smart. The film's payoff is just stupid. Sure, the many errors in plausibility can be written off; science fiction has taken dramatic license before. But whatever is inside a black hole, a father sending gravity-based messages through time to his daughter is not it. Not literally, and not metaphorically, either. The real lesson to be learned from space travel is that humanity is a speck in the cosmos, not that emotional bonds between people can defy the laws of physics.

Beyond this central thematic failure, Interstellar is unsatisfying. The level of coincidence involved in Coop finding and being recruited into the mission defies logic. His motivations are never well developed, and the pithy observations of him and other characters are never earned. The other characters are even sketchier; and the bizarre Matt Damon cameo is ham-handed. And like his betrayal and the identity of the "ghost", important plot twists were telegraphed.

The obvious comparisons to Interstellar are Gravity (space-driven IMAX spectacle), Sunshine (astronauts rush to save the world), and Inception (weird mind-bendy pseudoscience). Interstellar fails to connect the audience to a character or create a coherent narrative the way Gravity does; in these regards, Nolan's reach exceeds his grasp. Compared to Sunshine, Interstellar fails to create a sense of tension or desperation, and fails to differentiate characters or explore their motivations. As much as I liked Interstellar's soaring moments, it has nothing to match Sunshine's death scenes. It's more comparable to Inception, but not quite as good as that. Like Inception, Interstellar is an example of trying to break the mold and tell a really earth-shattering story and failing, but Inception was at least more coherent as an action movie.

But I still gave Interstellar a 7, and I'd still rather see it than much of what Hollywood puts out. In the early going of its 3 hour runtime, it's exciting when you still don't know what's about to happen. I liked Hans Zimmer's fascinatingly off-beat score, and when swells in the music met cool visuals, I was able to set aside the nonsensical plot for a minute. The score gets repetitive, and so do Michael Caine's admonitions about going gentle into the night, but I still find them moving.

And I think that's my final verdict on this movie, with its moving images and nonsensical message, I'd say it's a very bad story, but a pretty good audiovisual poem.… Expand

Main character is an ex NASA pilot and he lives few hours oh driving from NASA headquarters without knowing it? And he is a farmer?
He travels through wormhole to other galaxy and still receives clips from his family. Taking off from earth is realistic, but then later they take off from other planets in a very small ship without rockets.
They are loosing precious time on that planet near black hole and talk gibberish for ten minutes that translates to years on earth. Main character travels to black hole, gets hit by some rocks, ejects himself and becomes a ghost powered by love. Too much? Not for Nolan. He can change his past by not sending coordinates, but he still sent them. And he somehow lives after traveling straight into black hole without explanation. Total nonsense. After watching this movie one could say that its message is about power of love, but you'll be better with some romantic comedy if you want that kind of a movie.… Expand

I felt the 3 hours, which isn't a positive, but the time certainly isn't wasted.

It's mind bending. It is incredibly intelligent. It is a tense, emotional, staggering piece of art. This is one of the most thought provoking films I have seen. Three days since I saw it, and I still can't stop thinking about it. While I do understand it, I can't help but think "wait, what?" And not in a bad way. Interstellar makes you think beyond the boundaries of what you may have been taught at school about physics, philosophy and ethics. I can't stand physics nor do I try to understand it in my everyday life, but this movie makes you look hard at the physical reality and complexity of what is out there, while still reminding you of the depth within ourselves. Yes - at times - the script is questionable and the score can be awkward, but McConaughey, Chastain and Hathaway are so utterly convincing and brutal, and the direction of Nolan as well as the cinematography is so awe-inspiring and bold, this does not matter. It is hard to truly review this film without ruining the flow of surprises, but Interstellar is more than your average sci-fi movie; Interstellar is complex and enthralling, scientific and philosophical, emotional and tense. It is, above all, utterly memorable.… Expand

My mind was blown, such a large scale with very rich and deep emotion for each character. The grandeur and the detail supersedes anything I've ever seen before. Just when you think this movie is a little too tame, it flips you over. Isn't as structurally sound as some of his others, but this is flat out incredible.

If you take into consideration the entirety of the "science" (the science as a whole seemed like somebody spent a little bit of time studying a few scientific principles behind wormholes, singularities, and possibly a bit of string theory and then embellished based on how the movie was meant to turn out), the time paradox is magnified a thousand-fold. Additionally, the writers/producers couldn't seem to make up their mind about whether the movie was about the power of science or the power of love.
There were certainly some interesting themes that were scientifically accurate (in theory), such as the relativity of time near a singularity. On the other hand, the filmmakers appear to have forgotten that the sheer force of gravity would crush a human or a ship long before they ever reached the event horizon of a singularity. Either that or the fact was conveniently ignored to add a measure of suspense in the end of the movie. I can't really go into any more detail about my problems with this film without creating an immense list of spoilers, so I'm just going to have to leave it there.… Expand

Interstellar has proved to be one of the best films of this year with outstanding visual effects and efforts. First of all I would like to star by breaking up this movie in sections.

The movie is amazingly directed since Christopher Nolan (one of the best out there) has created a terrific environment in which you really feel what the characters are feeling. He is also able to show his style by making the Visual Effects part of the environment. Finally he is able to pursue and make his actors look amazing in the screen.

The second thing about this movie is Matthew McConaughey performance his is terrific as he was in "Dallas Buyers Club" he will be definitely nominated for an Oscar. What makes he's performance so perfect is he's relationship with he's dougther "Murph" portrayed by Mackenzie Foy an actress that is 14 years old that is showing a lot of potential and will be a young actress to watch. Anne Hathaway it is also part of this film adding up her amazing talent.

One of the flaws of this movie is the story since sometimes it fells weak since sometimes its boring and quite complicated to understand since physics takes a great role in the movie. Also the ending should had been cut 10 minutes before.

Although it has some problems it has been one of the best films of the year, with amazing visual effects and great directed movie and an amazing performance by Matthew McConaughey. This movie is a great time to go and watch in IMAX theaters and it will defiantly be an Oscar movie contendent. Since this movie is a 10 out of 10.… Expand

The cast is led by a standout performance Matthew McConaughey as Cooper, an engineer-turned-ex-pilot-turned-farmer-turned-astronaut, that deals with the struggles of leaving his family to save humanity. A surprising amount of emotion in this film as the characters deal with humanity, survival and loss.

The film was a bit disappointing with some occasional choppy, unnatural dialogue and underdeveloped characters, but the biggest concern was that of subpar sound mixing. A number of scenes had dialogue that was overpowered by effects and the music making it hard to understand what the characters were saying. Due to this it would be a travesty for this film to win the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing.

Interstellar is a thought-provoking, intellectually-stimulating story that uses a meticulous eye for scientific detail to depict worlds and concepts we have only dreamt of. Christopher Nolan creates a visual masterpiece reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey with its absolutely breathtaking cinematography mixed to an eerily quiet soundtrack to encompass the vast beauty of space. Although it has underdeveloped characters and somewhat subpar sound mixing, the overall film is an entertaining thrill ride into the deep, unknown parts of space. This is definitely a film to see in theatres to fully immerse yourself in the Nolan experience. Not the space movie we deserved, but the space movie we needed. Nothing less than an Interstellar night.… Expand

As soon as Anne Hathaways character started talking about love being some 5 dimensional yoke I dismissed the movie as yet another 'sci-fi' written by someone that hasnt a clue about science. Seriously,are these creative types so insecure they have to constantly remind everyone that 'love' and 'creativity' trump reason and intellect? And yet again the main scientists turn out to be evil or supremely arrogant - apparently its a prerequisite if you have any desire to understand how the universe ACTUALLY works.

It's almost like the first half of the film is a physics lesson, then the second half is an attempt to move it into a emotional drama. This would have been ok he he had remembered to stay within the realms of basic physics instead of introducing an unexplained paradox, and totally ignoring the theory of relativity in the final scenes that were so dominant at the start of the film.… Expand

Interstellar and the hype surrounding it passed me by - I would often see the striking title poster on IMDB but didn't read more. Directed by the man who brought you The Dark Knight trilogy; Christopher Nolan packs an emotion filled space epic into just under 3 hours.

Movie Synopsis quoted from IMDB:
A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

Although, in a nut shell, this sums up the movie it doesn't tell you about the underlying story of a man and his daughter. Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper - a man who lives his life in the past and can't adjust to the reality of a dying earth. He is given the opportunity to save the world but it means leaving his family behind. It's his love for them that pushes him into the future, quite literally, space and time.

I was so drawn into this movie that I forgot where I was at one point. It had me on the edge of my seat, weep genuine tears and laugh at jokes by a robot. I admit to not knowing much about the science in the movie but it was easy enough to understand even for a novice like myself. The visual impact of the space scenes had my jaw drop and I can't wait to download the beautiful score by Hans Zimmer. Even my boyfriend was lost for words when the credits rolled, we could have sat through another 3 hours. If you see one film this month make it Interstellar.

Cinema: Odeon Norwich.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nolan does it again man and am even more a Nolan fan now. It's another mind-bender from him, where he forces audience to think and reason. I like the fact that while mostly based on proved scientific theories the movie later suddenly falls into the philosophical/mind-bender genre like Nolan's many other movies. The movie feels a little slow in the beginning but it slowly builds up and ends on a great note. The father- daughter relationship works most of the times, and some of those times it is very emotional. People say his movies lack heart and emotions. He proved that wrong with this one. Those scenes with Matt Damon on that planet are very thrilling though also a little confusing because of Matt's character's ambiguous intentions. And that scene where his character gets part of the Endurance destroyed and Cooper attaches to the destroyed part is extremely well done. Hans Zimmer's score over all and particularly in that scene deserves high accolades. He succeeded to bring a totally new sound to the move, even though there were places where it reminded me of the extraordinary and his best in my opinion score of Inception. Loved that scene with those tall waves too. Loved the depiction of worm and black holes, especially that of black hole is so beautiful and mysterious. I wish they had shown more of it (see my comments next). The plot is quite complex. There is lot of science involved. And because of our limited understanding of that level of science at points it seems there are plot holes while there are actually not that many. And especially after he dropped into the black hole it all suddenly becomes so very confusing and at the same time so very away of the scientific theme of the movie before that. It falls in that metaphorical/philosophical genre. It's here where it has a lot common with Inception. Like Inception the movie had me thinking after it was finished, and require multiple viewing to grasp it entirely, which again is a triumph for Nolan, I believe. Acting is top-notch. Matthew was great overall, he nailed the emotionally scenes particularly. I have started to like the guy now. Besides him I think Mackenzie Foy also did a splendid job.

I do have some problems with it though, and that's why the missing one star in my rating. (1) It's barely a space movie. It couldn't never make me feel like I was in the space like Gravity did. I was expecting more scenes in the space with wide views of earth, stars and other planets. More scenes on heights. More scenes flying across other planets etc. I was expecting much more scenes with black hole and worm holes. They were on screen barely for few minutes. I wonder the money and effort they spent on building those things and how beautiful they looked especially the black hole but they didn't bother to show it more than a few minutes. And by the way what's about that total silence (zero OST/music) in space scenes? (2) The final scene where Cooper meets Murph could have been more emotional. I wonder a little that getting back to her was his mission all the time but there wasn't even a single tear in his eyes in that scene. I would have loved to see a crying Cooper like in one of those earlier scenes when he sees Murph's message on screen. (3) The very last scene where Cooper goes for Brand was totally unnecessary in my opinion. It was like that scene in TDKR where Batman kisses Catwoman/Selina Kyle before flying the bomb out of Gotham. Cheesy, unclassy and very un-Nolan. The whole movie was about father-daughter love then where did they get this guy-girl love in that. Looked quit a commercial move by Nolan.

Anyway, overall another classic from Nolan, another triumph, another movie which reminds us why we love movies and why they are so powerful. Marvelous work Nolan, keep it up.… Expand

The film is a little too long (dragging a lot in the first hour), the ending reveal is a little predictable, and the film doesn’t make you think as much as the others. Honestly, though its still a really good film in what has been for Nolan a great track record. See this movie while its in theaters as this is one you don’t want to miss.

It's a shame really, because Interstellar could have been brilliant. For the first hour or so I was fascinated. The visuals were breathtaking, the acting was quite good, and the story seemed to be moving in the direction of mind bending possibilities. It was for these reasons that, at first, it was easy for me to overlook the somewhat contrived sounding explanations that would occasionally intrude into an otherwise smoothly flowing script. After a while, however, it became disconcertingly obvious that the purpose of these very cerebral interludes... was simply to educate the movie viewer. Unfortunately, all of this explaining only served to distract me from the story, and much of what was said struck me as being overstated. Besides! A movie shouldn't have to repeatedly explain itself, right? Movie making is an art form; it calls for finesse and subtlety. In a well-written screenplay, themes are developed gradually, almost imperceptibly, in small increments. Then, at some point along the way, an almost magical "resonance of increments" takes place: at which time the movie viewer arrives at a realization, an "Aha!" moment.
Interstellar gets bogged down in far too many themes, for any one of them to be effectively developed. When the time arrives for an audience "realization," the desired epiphany is simply not forthcoming -- at least, not without the aid of an overly amped up movie score and yet another explanatory passage -- perhaps a soliloquy this time --, to help get the movie viewer over the hump.… Expand

Christopher Nolan's science-theory space adventure epic Interstellar takes the auteur's brand of epic to a whole new level. An ambitious marriage of astrophysics (thanks to Producer Kip Thorne) & just the right amount of wonder, this might just be Nolan's Magnum Opus. Featuring his trademark mind-bending twists & turns, time & time again he keeps the similar tricks feeling fresh because he never pigeonholes himself into the same genre & subject matter.
There certainly must be something to his "one project at a time" philosophy. With it he has established himself as the most consistent blockbuster filmmaker in Hollywood, & the studios trust him enough to let him develop original films with enormous budgets. In the Hollywood climate of adaptations & brand building, Nolan is an anomaly. He also has the respect of his colleagues. Just a few of the filmmakers who have come forward to endorse Interstellar include Paul Thomas Anderson, Edgar Wright, & Quentin Tarantino. Undeniably, part of their endorsement is because of the love of film cinema that they share with Nolan. He filmed Interstellar entirely with 35mm and 70mm IMAX cameras, & consistently rejects the idea of switching to digital cameras, whilst the studios & production companies have long ago made up there minds. But Nolan uses his leverage to help keep celluloid alive in the industry. Interstellar was released only into theaters that could still project film two to three days before any digital theater.
Nolan clearly has an undying love for what cinema stands for, & Interstellar is his most astounding example of this yet. This time he has used the trust he's gained to truly outdo himself. Whether it's presenting complex scientific & theoretical concepts in the story or strapping an IMAX camera to the front of a Learjet, Interstellar pushes all of the limits. Nolan has crafted a timely, thoughtful, & visually brilliant film that is arguably his most cerebral & undoubtedly his most emotional. This will come as a welcome surprise to those that have long accused Nolan's films of being emotionally cold. Such is not the case here.
At the heart of the film is a father-daughter story that had me emotionally invested almost as quickly as Pixar's Up. The beating heart of the emotions lie in standout performances across the board; the genuine portrayals & intimate characterizations ground the entire film with necessary sentiment & well timed humor. Fueling the carefully crafted visuals & emotions is Hans Zimmer's beautiful, visceral, & emotive score. As promised, Zimmer abandoned many of the techniques he has used, & been lampooned for, in his past collaborations with Nolan, to a much fresher & sublime effect.
Interstellar is ultimately a film that revels in the simple idea that we are here, & how amazing it is that we have the ability to wonder, contemplate, & actually understand the way the cosmos works. The film begs to question mankind's level of investment in it's own ingenuity & ability to pioneer. Unlike Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, which focuses on the frailty of humanity & lacks any form of sentimentality, Interstellar puts its full faith in mankind & harvests many meaningful thoughts about humanity's role on earth & among the cosmos.
The film is personal to me because in the year leading up to it, I have been striving to become more scientifically literate & environmentally conscious through such means as Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Just as in a socially cognizant society, there is no room for anti-intellectualism or ignorance in the world of Interstellar. Perhaps the greatest role this film could play is in promoting science consciousness & curiosity among audiences that could hopefully bleed through into society as a whole. That may be dreaming big, but the reality of humanities current situation certainly didn't go unnoticed by anyone involved with the production of Interstellar, nor should it the viewer.
It may be a work of fiction, but the environmental apocalypse scenario presented in the film is no less feasible & frightening in the real world than it is in the film’s plot; undeniably more so. Sure Interstellar takes a few creative liberties, especially towards the end, but it gets a vast majority of the science correct, & plays joyfully in the sandbox of theoretical possibility.
It's very hard for anyone to walk away from this film questioning the legitimacy of the events that take place in the film, especially if you are fan of other fantastical Hollywood films. Just the mere fact that the film is largely based off of Newton's laws of physics & Einstein's laws of relativity should be impressive. Alas, at 2 hours & 49 minutes chocked full of complex concepts, there are certainly those who may check out at a certain point. But they would be remiss to not feel the impact of the finale. For any serious moviegoer/science enthusiast, Interstellar is a noble achievement & spiritual experience.… Expand

Though to be fair, it should also be noted that it is too long, too noisy, and there are gaping plot holes. But so what? This is about an emotional and redemptive journey spanning the stars and the generations, not realism. After three hours, you really end up feeling like you have been on a journey yourself. Great performances throughout - though better diction by the actors would not have hurt. But whichever way you cut it, this is a serious movie, portraying humanity facing adversity in ways that are both moving and artistic. Considerably better than any of the Batman movies. And it gets an extra mark for the special effects - which thankfully, do not overwhelm the movie. Somehow they simultaneously become both achingly beautiful, and austere at the same time - which is a major achievement in today's over-done blockbusters.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a new '10 Point Scale' rating system based on 10 important aspects of a film which is crucial for a fair assessment. It's a structured way to rate films rather than just randomly putting in a number. And, the first film to be rated on this is the film 'Interstellar' which gets an overall rating 7/10 according to the format.

1) Direction: 6/10

Direction is all about having control over your audience i.e. the control to guide them to your vision. It’s a summation of the essential skillsets to engage and disengage your viewers. The success of a film is totally dependent on how a director exerts control. In Interstellar, it seems to be in control in parts but every now and then things go out of hand. There are some great build ups and every time we expect it to blossom into something it falls flat on its face. Some of the B-plots which starts to build up nicely are just left unattended at the end. The plot involving Cooper’s son and his family is a glaring example of the same and if it’s not so important they why build it up in the first case. There isn’t even a note of conclusion or ambiguity in there. At the end, Nolan seems to have taken the easy way out by making his audience happy with an end they’re satisfied with. But isn’t it going against the whole idea of control when you let your audience decide the outcome rather than you doing it as the director?

2) Philosophy/Vision/Idea/Subtext/Metaphors/Easter Eggs: 4/10

Okay, we get it ‘love is beyond time or dimension’. But is there any way you can make it a little more subtle? And, if you call this an idea or a philosophy then how is it different to millions of other films about love? Mr. Nolan you need to think more rather than just quote lines from Dylan Thomas poetry book for an intellectual effect.

3) Does it move you emotionally? 9/10

Yes it moves you emotionally and it has been done well. Christopher Nolan has successfully upped the emotional stakes in this film. There was a backlash in Inception for low emotional stake and he’s definitely worked on this. It shows in the film. These scenes are intense whether it’s nail biting action or a sad scene which chokes your throat.

4) Unity: 6/10

By unity it means if the film is uniform with recurring motifs and parallelism, or not. Interstellar, unfortunately is low on a uniform experience scale even though there are some recurring themes of love. But it’s not consistent enough in action because Nolan brings in some heavy handed scientific theories to stitch it and nobody gets it.

5) Is it Poetic (Realistic/Formative)? 5/10

Adding a line from one of the greatest poets doesn’t necessarily make the film poetic. Poetry is derived from the experience of the film combined with the ideas and philosophy hidden as a subtext. So, is this a space film about love just to show that love’s beyond time and space? Seriously! Mr. Nolan, getting it scientifically correct doesn’t mean that it’s realistic enough, forget it being poetic.

6) Screenplay/Writing: 4/10

It is perhaps the worst screenplay by the Nolans. First, character motivations are plain stupid for most for e.g. nobody knows what Cooper’s son or Dr. Mann are motivated by and why do they act in a negative way. By ‘nobody knows’ it don’t mean that facts weren’t mentioned in the film; rather it’s a thing about developing characters where it never picks up. You don’t relate to the characters, especially Dr. Mann. Secondly, the plots are all over the place and it adds to confusion rather than creating a unified experience. Also, it’s clear that Nolan tried his best to avoid an ending in disunity and in the process rips this film of its credibility or thought. Plot twists don’t come out organically and it seems forced. Some of the dialogues are decent involving the computer but rest remains pedestrian.

7) Acting: 9/10

Acting is great in this film and it helps create those intense scenes. Mcconaughey's good but not sure if it’s an Oscar winning performance.

8) Editing: 9/10

Editing is slick and it helps create those moments you’ll remember this film for. The parallel action of the rotating space craft with the drama in earth is worth noting. It had the audience holding on to their seats tight. Also, the pace slows down very effectively to heighten the emotional scenes.

9) Cinematography: 9/10

Cinematography is great and almost everyone loved the use of different aspect ratios for different scenes; not sure what purpose was?. The overall cinematography is great and it does give you the feel of 2001 experience at times.

10) Sound: 9/10

Great sound always helps in creating a great experience. The dialogue, sound effects were spot on and music in Nolan films is always great.

To conclude, this film is a great effort but it required that little bit of ‘thought’ and ‘time’ to grow in the writing stage but it comes out underdeveloped much like Caesarian.… Expand

All of the film's elements come together marvelously, from the great acting and often times emotional story to the dazzling effects, images, and music! Matthew McConaughey gives a powerful and moving performance in the lead. There were also some great supporting performances from Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Wes Bentley, etc. Hans Zimmer, who composed most of Nolan's previous films once again composes an epic and unforgettable score for this one as well. And of course, the effects are simply gorgeous, need I say more?! Despite the lengthy three-hour runtime, I didn't mind it a bit this time around, as the film kept me completely engaged from start to finish! Overall in my opinion, it's Nolan's absolute best film since The Dark Knight and is without a doubt the greatest film I've seen all year and I'd love to see if any other film this year can top this one for me, but I highly doubt it!… Expand

Interstellar is a 3 hour long Sci-Fi/Action/Drama directed by Christopher Nolan staring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. The acting from the main cast was amazing, everyone felt like they had a strong connection. I found this movie extremely imaginative and eye opening, It covers some subjects few to no movies have ever cover before. The base of the story without giving away to much is Earth is unable to produce enough food and Humans are forced to explore for other planets.Even with a run time of 3 hours Nolan does a great job at delivering those emotional gut punches and breath taking scenes that pull you right back in. The run time can feel a bit long and I do feel like Nolan could have shaved off a few minuets. Sadly there was a few plot holes as well, almost like Nolan was piecing it together near the end and makes the last few minutes seem detached from the rest of the film.
Those minor gripes aside, Interstellar is a phenomenal film that showcases amazing CGI and practical effects to bring you truly immersive experience. A movie like this is best experienced for yourself and will be even more enjoyable if you can walk into this movie not seeing any trailers.

This is one of the best films I've seen in 2014 and will keep me thinking for awhile.… Expand

Enjoy this visually and breathtaking masterpiece, brilliantly acted by leading actor Matthew Mcconaughey, with a MAGNIFICENT soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and a very well unexplored theme that is always captivating in Nolan's films.

The story was good enough to keep me entertained. Just like Inception, this is a movie you will need to watch more than once. Too be fair Inception is a much better movie. Interstellar is a mediocre Nolan movie. Mediocre is harsh, but a mediocre Nolan is light-years (pun intended) beyond most other movies. There isn't another director out there that makes me as excited to see a movie as Nolan. Enjoy the ride, we have to wait 2 more years for another Nolan movie.… Expand

It is an epic that transcends what audience members previously thought they could emotionally and physically feel on the big screen. The visuals were the best seen on screen since Gravity in 2013, Matthew McConaghey delivers one of the most emotionally gripping performances seen in recent years, and Hans Zimmer's score leaves the audience with the highest sense of adventure. There's only one problem... The make up. There are certain scenes where make up is vital to make a character look older. However, they fail to make it happen and the actors have to 'act' their age with no further visual representation. Overall, Interstellar is probably the most engrossing, jaw dropping movie I've ever seen.… Expand

A nice Sci-Fi movie with a serious plot and gloomy atmosphere. I didn't like the final part of the movie much, but still the effort is very solid. The actors are great, Matt Damon has a small but memorable role. A must see for all Sci-Fi fans.

Every time you get excited about the physics and quantum mechanics in the movie, its pushed in the background.

Its a little hard to describe without spoiling anything, but all i can say is, don't expect a sci-fi movie, expect something else and be surprised by the space you get to see.

As a side note, if this was Nolan's vision about how other plants could look like, i really hope he is wrong..… Expand

'Interstellar' is the science-based film we have all been hoping for which uses actual astrophysics and theory to tell a story of Earth's last gasp and the attempt to save humanity by escaping to the stars. However one would think that with almost three hours to play with that the film would have been more coherent. Perhaps the version I saw in the theater was faulty. It was the digital version and not the film nor the 70 mm version. Although the screen images were OK, it did not have the clarity of detail I have seen in other digital projections.
The plot was very good and interesting and I was not bored with the long sequences of expository dialogue that attempted to explain the science behind the events depicted in the film. The actors are outstanding in their roles and the depiction of spaceflight and other planets were very believable.
The film could have used better editing though. A few transitory scenes were hard to follow.
Part of the problem was the poor sound in the theater showing I attended. Throughout most of the film, the dialogue was hard to understand because of the very loud music tracks and the shrillness of the music. If I didn't already understand astrophysics, I would have been totally lost. As it was, I could not hear much of the significant conversations between the characters and had to guess at what significant plot point had just been revealed. I originally though that the poor sound quality was the theater's fault but later learned that the sound problem was often mentioned by professional film critics as well. Simply stated, the music too often overwhelmed the dialogue. I consider the use of this music score by Chris Nolan a major mistake and makes the film almost unwatchable. I hope to watch this film again in the future on DVD without the ear-piercing music soundtrack.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Quantas questões temos aqui?
Por: Gustavo Talaini

Fascinante, Christopher Nolan construiu um novo clássico de “Science Fiction” que já pode ser comparado com 2001 uma odisseia no espaço de Stanley Kubrick (eu disse comparado). Interstellar explora teorias físicas, dimensões não conhecidas e os sentimentos e emoções dos seres humanos, Nolan faz sua obra mais emocional, mas ainda com tons sombrios e psicológicos, é um dos melhores filmes do ano.

O filme começa com Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) sonhando com seu passado como piloto de nave espacial da NASA e quando acorda relembra que a humanidade está para acabar, a praga atingiu os alimentos que agora estão em escassez, mas a pergunta logo no inicio é: Qual a solução para isso?

“Uma viagem Interstellar em busca de um substituto para o planeta Terra”. Murph (Mackenzie Foy) tem a certeza que um fantasma assombra sua casa. – “Fantasmas não existem – diz seu pai Cooper que é um fazendeiro e ex-engenheiro, mas Murph sabe que tem alguém se comunicando com ela através de códigos morse.

A intensidade do filme aumenta quando durante uma tempestade de poeira (o que era normal) Cooper vê a mensagem misteriosa deixada por tal fantasma assim descobrindo que aquilo na verdade era uma anomalia da gravidade, então através de coordenadas misteriosas deixadas pela anomalia (Em teoria tinha alguém mesmo se comunicando com Murph, o tal “ eles “ seres de outra parte do universo), Cooper descobre uma base secreta da NASA onde encontra Brand (Anne Hathaway), o professor Brand (Michael Caine) e um genial robô; Cooper tinha sido aluno do professor Brand então ele foi “convidado” para salvar o planeta Terra assim tendo que abandonar sua família por tempo indeterminado;Ele aceita.

Em meio a um roteiro espetacular escrito pelo próprio Nolan e seu irmão Jonathan tudo se destaca em Interstellar, a trilha sonora de Hans Zimmer, as grandes atuações do fantástico elenco, os cenários maravilhosos e efeitos especiais brilhantes, mas o principal é o formidável toque de Nolan.

A apresentação de complexas teorias físicas te deixam alienado e mexem com sua mente, os discursos sobre a abrangência do amor, o que ele pode significar para cada individuo são emocionantes (sim essa é uma das palavras que representam Interstellar: emoção); tempo é outra grande questão neste filme, para salvar a humanidade Cooper e sua equipe terão que ir até saturno onde se encontra um buraco de minhoca que os levará para outra galaxia com o objetivo de encontrar outro planeta habitável, o substituto da terra.

Dois anos se passam quando Cooper chega ao buraco de minhoca cujo tem um deslumbrante visual, é incrivel, porém ao chegarem ao primeiro planeta “selecionado”o tempo se alterou na Terra ou seja lá já se passaram 24 anos e Murph agora é interpretada por Jessica Chastain com uma excelente atuação assim como o resto do elenco ( sim tive que repetir isso)

São raros os filmes com três horas de duração que prendem tanta atenção assim, certamente Interstellar ganhará indicações dos Oscars, o tom de realismo de Nolan é imponente, quando se chega nos minutos finais a adrenalina se eleva por conta das reviravoltas (Matt Damon foi uma grande jogada aqui) e as grandes questões começam a ser explicadas de uma forma terrífica.

Resumindo seja você fã de ficção ou não, Interstellar é totalmente imperdível é o filme mais grandioso e ambicioso de Nolan.… Expand

The Drama in the story is as gut-wrenching, no it exceeds and redefines: clasp-the-edge of your seat & hold onto your stomach Action & Entertainment of a movie.

The action in the film makes 'Gravity' look like 'Open Water*,' because as enjoyable as 'Gravity' was, like Open Water, it was a story that was limited to two characters or almost 1 1/2, in a small tank or stage, in comparison to the endless rows of interconnected Theme Parks that is Interstellar.

The film never becomes too cheesy or over the top as it tackles subjects of space exploration, mathematics and relativity. All the way up to the end, there were doors for the movie to let you down, for the writer to take an easy way out, and he never did. It has the Science-Fiction tag, but it's presented well enough to feel like a Documentary, because the story stays believable and as 'realistic' as we can imagine.

This work is Christopher Nolan's best yet, but I doubt he has reached his peak or plateau. Looking back at earlier works, I see now that he's found his center.

Going beyond the story-telling style, which takes on a ride through the many layers of a single character (I.E. Memento). He has now found a way to peel the layers of Space and tell a story in a way which transcends the viewer through a character, while transcending us through Space and Time..Inception was an unforgettable journey, but we still never left the Mind. Interstellar tackles Mind (Memento), Body & Spirit (Dark Knight), as well as Space, Time (Inception) & Travel.… Expand

Viewers must endure clunky expository dialogue and over-written lines drawled out by McConnaughey that feel like you're watching another one of his car commercials. Despite this, McConnaughey delivers an emotional performance that's consistent with what we've grown to expect from him in recent years. The cinematography is up to scratch but easily trumped by Kubrick in 1968.
Those expecting a thrilling adventure through space will feel hugely let down by the bulk of the movie which consists of people sitting around explaining how the plot makes sense rather than participating in it. The main issue with 'Interstellar' is that it feels disjointed and rushed. Plot turns feel contrived and ultimately frustrating, especially when compared to Nolan's previous masterpiece 'The Dark Knight'. With an ending so rushed, unnatural and overly-sentimental, the film leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth that makes you want to forget the entire thing ever happened.… Expand
